Jernhatten

Jernhatten rises 49 meters above sea level on the Djursland peninsula, featuring a summit with winding beech trees and views over the Kattegat sea and Hjelm island

The coastal area near Jernhatten contains remnants of entrenchments from the English Wars of 1807-1814, marking where a portion of the Danish fleet met its end.

The name Jernhatten translates to Iron Hat and connects to local folklore about a troll named Arn who perished near this location during a confrontation.

Visitors can reach the viewpoint through a 300-meter footpath from the parking area, located between Havmølleåen stream and the main hill formation.

The hill's location in Denmark's driest region creates conditions for plants typically found in Southeastern Europe, establishing an unexpected botanical environment.
